I was hoping for such a great single (IMO) to at least break the Top 5 yet it is just stalling at Number 6. Ah.

It's technically the fifth single from a Platinum selling album that's been out for 8 months.

#6 is very good.

The album has gone double platinum and this song has been hanging around since its release she is lucky to be stalling at number 6.

This. Also if she'd been on the Voice it would've been at #1 imo.

Is there some divine rulling that Rihanna can't have a release stick at no 6.

The lady needs to go away and have a rest. People are beginning to get tired of her.

The Voice UK isn't exactly great promotion as Ed Sheeran's Small Bump (New Single, Fifth of Debut Album) is stalling in between Numbers 30 and 20 with a 7 Million+ audience watching the final yesterday which Ed Sheeran performed on with that single. So No.

She's at number six because it's not the most popular song right now...

I know right?!? I think that guy was referring to Birthday Cake as a single yet it was never officially released. Only released to urban radio in the US.

Yeah I was referring to Birthday Cake.

Not a UK single, I know, but a single nonetheless.

She's very lucky to have gone top 10 let alone top 5. The last two releases off TTT have failed to make an impact chartwise. Obviously the monster that is We Found Love ensures that this album isn't that much of a flop (compared to Rated R) but if this single had failed to make an impact this era would be very disappointing following the huge success of Loud and its singles

Not really as was not an official single in the UK and as we are commenting on chart places you have confused people here with your unsupported statement.

You should have shortened the title to "Why is Rihanna?" to be honest.
